Sir, is your ranger manual or auto... how do find the ranger sa akyatan? Bitin ba? please update kong anong sabi sa casa regarding the vibration. Wow... this is something Ford has to look into fast and fix it.

Sir, manual po ung ranger ko... Bukas papa appointment ko na... Hindi ko pa gaano na subukan sa akyatan, pero nung papunta kami ng Bolinao meron pa akyat konti dun. Decent naman ang power... I don't know if sa full stop then go... Hindi ko pa rin nakaka usap ung sa kasa....

Di ko alam yung place sir e. Family ng classmate ko may-ari ng resort e, taga switzerland. pangit nga e lol mabato at madamo. Ayoko na talaga bumalik dun. hahaha.. Ayos naman sa akyatan sir. Minsan mabagal lang yung acceleration kelangan talaga mag downshift pag overtake. Kailangan pasok sa 1500 rpm para mabilis. Kahit todo apak mo na sa accelerator e ambagal pa din makarating ng 1500. Downshift lang pala katapat. Di pa kasi ako marunong magmanual hahaha.

Sa vibration, wala naman. Yung inaalala ko lang is yung sound ng engine, minsan maganda, minsan pangit. Maingay pag umaandar. hmm.. Yung windows pala, masakit sa tenga kapag binubuksan pag high speed.

We've been to Regina, Rica in Tanay with the Ranger at walang problema sa akyatan.. most of the time eh nasa 3rd gear pag medyo mabagal ang nasa harap.
Medyo nakakahasa ng left 'n right tantyahan. 1+ hr na puro blind curve tapos tig-isang lane lang... once magkaron ng long stretch na safe, kaya nang iwanan sa harap lalo na pag pumalo na ang turbo at above ~1500rpm!
Pababa, makapal na brake pads at isang basong diesel na lang ang kelangan! Ahahay

[clairenceh]

^ haha, so sa pababa neutral lang kayo at brake? hindi ba delikado yun? At mas mabilis din mauubos un brakes? Natry ko na kasing pababa, downshift kaya lang bumabagal lang ng konti kasi nakikisabay lang yung gear, tumataas lang yung rpm.

Pag nasa mood, gamit ko normal engine breaking ng 3rd gear.. then pag tinopak minsan eh coasting by disengaging the engine by clutch at the cost of break pads.. sayang ang momentum eh.. pero di advisable!!! better to have a working break in times of emergency kesa maubos then mag rely sa engine or hand break!

Best way to go downhill from Tanay (and any other twisty route), for me at least, is to use engine braking. That is, to stay in gear and minimize the reliance on the brakes. That way, you prevent the brakes from heating up and fading.

I once tried going up and down Tanay in a Vios AT loaded with 3 people. Because I wasn't paying active attention with the engine braking, coupled with the weight of the passengers vis-a-vis the light chassis and small brakes of the car, I suffered from a bit of brake fade downhill - the brakes suddenly felt spongy and had much less bite than what is usual.

Hi guys, alam niyo ba ung magkano yung carryboy CB 731 roll bar? Ang alam ko kasi ito yung cheapest at ito din yung type ko.. Tatanggalin ba yung bed liner pag nagpalagay ng ganito? Thanks.. Carryboy Philippines, World Class Auto Accessories

The trick to the Ranger's manual shifting is relaxed shifting. This is no sports car and, even tho its not a long throw (compared to the hilux), its not a short shifter either. So shift slowly as if you let the transmission pull in the slot of the stick. Do not force the stick to its slots. Then do clutch blending after each shift.

Slow and relaxed driving is the way to go. 1st and 2nd gear could really be sloooow at times but when the turbo kicks in, there will be no problem. Actually ang mamomroblema yung nasa likuran mo. Akala niya babagal bagal ka tapos pag pumalo na turbo kamot ulo siya. LOL.

For me, I won't install hood scoop because it is not necessary, may affect aerodynamic, and it doesn't improve appearance per my taste. Sorry if discouraging. Peace

Agree with you. I find it easier to shift now after using it for 7T km.

And guys I need your help....

8 hours ako nag drive so hindi ko sya pinapatay nun... pagka uwi ko galing kami ng Bolinao Pangasinan, 8 hours drive diba? ngayon I cooled down the Engine for 20mins before I turn it off... pero still nag SHAKE or VIBRATE sya ng MALAKAS... What to do now?

Nasaktan ata ang baby ko....

bakit ganon? Nakaka takot mukang lalabas ung engine nung nang yari yun....

Grabe 20 mins idling? And yet nag rattle yun engine. So how much cool down is required to avoid engine rattle? interested to hear what service Centre would recommend. I also encounter engine rattle despite few mins cool down.

Unless there is a real need for the hoodscoop, I'd steer clear of this mod.

For that matter, the LC120 Prado does not have a hoodscoop despite having a top-mount intercooler. Air is rechanneled from the front grille to the top-mount. What one of the hardcore enthusiasts in Australia discovered -- with documented proof -- was that with the scoop his EGTs were much much lower. If you can get that proof and have a real need for it, then go for it.
